Hello,
I am experiencing a tremendous battery drain when the wifi is switched on, but the device is not used. The battery is discharged after 12 hours!
With this setting, with WM5, the charge would last 2 to 3 days.
I am now testing how the battery performs when the wifi is switched off.
Does anyone experiences this battery drain with the wifi switched on? Is there a solution to this problem? (I just find switching the wifi on and off manually a little annoying)
Thanks!
I am having the same prob, when WiFi on, but not used my battery drained 6% in 2 minutes
also
same here but my battery drains bad no matter what i'm doing
buy a new batter
im using a battery for da wing that is 50 percent longer than the regular one heres the place i bought it

Hi all,
I have been testing (sofar day 5) how long can my HTC Diamond last on standby without needing to recharge.
Phone is constantly on (day and night). It is on standby i.e. screen off, but the power is on. So every time I tap the little power button it shows me how much (%) of the battery is left.
I am on day 5 and the battery is 66%.
Will update tomorrow.
I don't know if anyone done this before, but I am trying to find out, how long will battery actually last in real world (in standby).
Cheers.
Are you just using Flight Mode?
And none of them is turning on ?
1. 2G / 3G phone (stay at one place / moving day & night )
2. Wi-Fi
3. Bluetooth
day 6
DAY6......checked battery status this evening.....52% left.
Phone is on standby (screen off). Everything else is on.
This is just my little experiment. Probably does not make sense to many, but maybe someday,someone would wanna know that, how long the battery lasts this way
to ykwong
sorry did not notice someone has replied.
phone is essentially in flight mode.....phone itself is off (no calls coming in or out)
but, Bluetooth and WIFI is on. Everytime I check for battery status....it notifies me of my WIFI connection.
If your mobile is in standby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth even if they are turned on are in standby too (except when you turn it on to check battery charge) thus they don't consume power.
Ive been testing mine aswell andi've found i lose 6% every 8 hours, thats with minimal use and screen off once used. radio 1.25.00.5 and the offficial 1.93 rom and with settings from shcaps advanced config.
wifi is turned off automatically when in standby mode, and turned on when you activate the phone again unless you've done a registry hack to force it on.
Moreover this test is quite useless as battery life consumption depends on the power of the signal, your battery can easily last half the usual time if the signal is weak and twice longer if you just under a cell

Indeed, thats true.
Battery life is poor
I got Diamond 2 days ago. What I noticed was the battery life is appalling actually. I charged full and with normal usage (ie, 5-6 calls lasting about altogether lasting less than an hour and some pplaying around) it doesnt last more than a day. Battery shows 10% at the end of the day. Is that normal? Or is it just mine. (By the way 3G on, Wifi, bluetooth off)
I charge mine twice a day...
i have to charge mine everyday after work and im not using in THAT much, some calls and checking some mails. the batterytime really sucks, my old phones have loads of better batterytime, so what if i surf some on the net and checking some videos to do i have to charge it every hour or what? really sucks :/
htc has released a new battery for longer standby time. the battery volumn is 1350MA, with a back cover. the price is around 40 pounds.
unlike the third party battery some of us have bought, does the gps still work with this one?

How much volume and weight doe it add up to the sleek diamond? Does it not kill the joy? What will be the difference then b/w diamond and raphael thickness and weight??
day7
today.....power at 43%
to posters: I know that this test may sound pointless to some. All I am saying that someone someday may find this informative.
If you have the phone off, there's no point in this test - at all. When the screen turns off, wifi turns off as well. This would be the most battery consuming application you have, so it would last a long time regardless of battery or phone.
My settings shows fully loaded battery but the ROM update screen tells me that i have less than 50% available. Who is correct? And is there a way to unload the battery totally w/o having the diamond on all the way (already tried, is not working) to refresh it from base? Thanks!
day 8
battery at: 29%
........I will check and finish this test tomorrow , I assume it will we under 20 %
I'm starting such a test myself today, see if I can make it to Monday. I will be using my phone for calling, i.e. the phone function is on (except when I sleep, don't want to be disturbed ), the occasional internet (checking train schedule, maybe using it as a router for my laptop for 5 minutes), and maybe 5 minutes of teeter or something. The average day use I'd say.
Question: how do I see the percentage of my battery charge?
Test starts as of NOW, 15:47 in Amsterdam, which is 13:57 UTC. It's fully charged, so I don't need a percentage reading on this one
Hi,
as I got the phone I already had bad battery life, so I made a factory reset, maybe it helps. It didn't, 1 hour of playing(not even 3d game) ate 40% of my battery, on 2g network and 40% display brightness.
I decided to put on the EURO open(jun 25) and root the phone. I uninstalled a couple of system apps(car home, unused apps, etc), and also put on minfreemanager on agressive settings(to kill background apps consuming battery).
It helped absolutely nothing. I disconnected the phone from the charger in the morning around 6am, and by now with approx 20 minutes of gaming, downloading it's only 75% left.
I also discharged my battery 2 times to 0%, and turned on repeatedly to kill the battery, and once recharged while it was on, once recharged while it was off. Helped also nothing.
some info if needed:
baseband: 1035.21_20110725
kernel: 2.6.32.9
build: FRG83G
LGE ver: LGP990-V10d
Please help, it would be such a good phone without this battery issue ((((((((
Install juicedefender
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
I installed it in the stock one, but it didn't help.
As I see I have problem when the phone is active, and I do something with it.
When my phone is sleeping it seems okay tho.
I played stupid zombies for 10 minutes just now, and it went down from 70% to 65%. This means every hour battery dies 30% which is actually 10% better then yesterday with the stock rom before this open EURO. It still is pathetic, that you can only play 3.3 hours and your battery is dead
My SGS was able to hold on at least until 5 hours with heavy usage.
I don't know guys my phone can last for 3 days only using for phone calls. Watching 2 hours of youtube can last 2 days.
Maybe because i don't use any Internet via mobile network.
I don't use task killers. After reading this http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
I always charge the phone when the battery goes to 0%.
Autobrightness is always on.
Always use 2G networks and Data is disabled.
Useing Modaco Fear edition 12.6.
with baseband 622.
with TW Launcher.
5 Homescreens full of widgets.
and useing Watchdog Task Manager for monitoring what app uses cpu most.
So im very happy with my phone with heavy use i can still manage 24 Hours (Browsing, playing, Youtube). And maybe 6-7 hours of max usage.
I had about 5 hours of battery life on idle when I first got the phone brand new. I'm getting about 40 hours on idle now with Fear 12.6. I'm still testing whether underclocking cpu while idle will improve battery performance. But i dont use any app-killer and do NOT use JuiceDefender, it doesnt work well with this phone. Havent updated baseband, using stock _20110405, make sure you have matching RIL to baseband, so dont simply update baseband.
Try cronos Tom, it has been optimized battery driver, I've just bought brand new 2x 2 days back, my battery was lasting hardly whole day with 2-3 hour wifi usage then i read somewhere its a known issue with with 2x, not same like ur case, then I try various roms the only rom that gave me longest battery life on my phone is cronies mod, try it

I love the CM7 build for the milestone, It makes the phone so much better!
but one thing is weird. When I use the 3G DATA (browse sites, watch YouTube)
the battery drains REALLY fast!
For example, today I got into facebook, browsed 4-8 pages, and the Battery
level Decreased by 30%! (FOR A 5 MIN SURFING)
Wifi surfing seems ok.
Is this normal?! anyone else had this problem ???
I have the same problem. using 3G data drains my battery drastically. been using the phone for more than 2yrs now. i wont complain about that. but CM7 is gr8 when it comes to boosting your battery life.
Same thing happens here and i think it's normal. 3G consumes more battery than wifi on every phone i had.
Active 3G consume more battery than Wifi (or 2G) but 30% in 5 minutes is not normal.
You should calibrate your battery with this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10
Did you calibrate the battery after having flashed CM7?
I'm loosing a lot of batterylife when 3G is activated, too.
battery "drain" is normal on DATA. i had these problem too with my milestone.
wouldnt say its a CM7 problem...
for me it is because of the "2 year old battery" + DATA... those two wont work well
I've been running marshmallow since the stock images were posted and I always got very nice battery life with doze. As in, I wouldn't have to charge the phone until the next morning. Since last week, however, cell standby is using significantly more battery. Yesterday, I took the device off the charger at 0900, and by 2100 I was already at 25% battery. Screen on time was only 2 hours, and cell standby had more usage than the screen. No matter my signal quality, it seems cell standby is eating my battery. Phone isn't even showing as awake! I also am always connected to WiFi and using T-Mobile WiFi calling.
I know a few users have reported a similar issue since marshmallow, does anyone have an idea of why cell standby is killing battery even though time without signal is 0? Time active is also always under 20 min. Since I'm using WiFi calling, I'd think the phone wouldn't even be searching for a voice signal anyway.
My signal has been worse than abysmal since switching to Marshmallow. I uninstalled Fit, Pay, and Google+ and it got better strangely enough but i still have issues from time to time...

The same happened to me, at the begining with marshmallow (chroma and francokernel) always more than 5h SOT and easy deep sleep... but now, the last night at 1:00AM battery was at 100%, at 5:00AM was 84%... and no wakeloks... i'll take some screenshots
Same here. I swear the battery is draining faster but no wakelock issues.
Plus I believe there is an issue with the signal reporting. Where I know that I get full signal the phone can report zero bars. Switch to airplane mode and back, then suddenly the signal displays correctly!
+1 My signal is terrible anymore, and I certainly was much better on the preview images
At my desk at work, same spot I sit my phone everyday would be in the mid 80s and right now it sits at -103....hit airplane mode and it resets....for a few

I'm having the same issues. Overall, pretty solid battery life but cell standby drainage was high. Been searching forums with no such luck. Sounds like it might just be and Android issue I have to hope gets fixed in an update? I'm using T-Mobile wi-fi calling. I'm in areas with strong LTE signal, but compared to my old phone, the amount of "bars" I'm seeing seem lower and sometimes non existent, although I spent no time without signal.
